The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

My reply can be found here.))

(And by publish, I mean “type up and put on the Internet”.)

and thus not allowed.

Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way. But it was in a continuum that my sister created, so I don’t know if it’s missionable.

Is it possible to have a mission to a badfic you created in a continuum you created? Because I have in fact, written both, and I’d like to know if my badfic is missionable.

—Ls, who’s wondering if “missionable” is a word.

I think it'll make a knockout funny (and surreal) mission even if it's intentionally bad 😆 Badfic written by a canon character? Tons of PPC material!

Behold: DUFFY DA PARTIT. It's supposed to be as sucky as humanly possible, so maybe don't take it seriously?

((It is now located here!))

We can just have one link on the main Board, and it could say “Further links here” or something.

Wouldn’t that reduce unnecessary space usage?

Well, I’ll just use the Linstar one to avoid confusion.))

We can make a sticky thread for some of the stuff that's currently in the header - things like links helpful for newbies but that don't need to show up every time someone opens the front page.

This could be accomplished by someone with Nameless Admin powers making a post and setting the sort timestamp far into the future so it never falls of the front page.

(I'd probably need to go adjust the "Latest posts" page to filter out said sticky if that happens)

Said post could also be locked to stop people replying to it.

The people that the Other Board was using to send emails changed how you're supposed to log in to theri email server (which was a perfectly reasonable change on their part, but I wasn't exactly informed of it, hence ... suddenly signing up doesn't work).

I've now switched the Other Board over to something working.

Lilly, OrangeFox, and Linstar, you should've all gotten your "Welcome to the Board" emails.

KittyAuthor, since you mentioned not wanting the temporary email, I've taken the liberty of deleting that account so you can sign in again.

I'm currently looking into the issue.

The header literally takes up an entire screen on my laptop already, and every effort I made in the ~5 years prior to the Board moving was to slim it down. Adding another link to somewhere that you'll only need to go if it's discussed on the Board first seems unnecessary. (And, from past experience, people will post over there to say "let's have an RP!" and then be distressed that nobody replies.)

Unrelatedly, a change that definitely needs making is the TOS link, which should be switched to this one; it's still pointing at Tripod right now.

But I do definitely get what you mean. (And I have gotten a couple of takers, to whom I am grateful.)

(Also kinda me trying to be humble/being perfectionist. If that makes sense.)

For future reference: If the doc is still very messy, it's not ready for a beta yet. When you've cleaned it up and made it as good as you can make it, that's when to ask for betas. Otherwise, you're basically saying "I want someone to clean up my mess for me," and that's not very nice. {= P

You haven't inconvenienced me or anyone else besides yourself! Anyway, I'm only guessing at what's happening. You should definitely wait for Tomash to take a look and let us know what things actually look like under the hood, so to speak.

As for your IP being blocked, it's possible that you could have the misfortune of sharing a location with a persistent spammer or troll that we had to block, but I don't know what the chances are of that. We don't get that many, and the Nameless Admin tries to avoid broad IP blocks for precisely this reason.

A VPN might explain the issue in Kitty's case, though, and Linstar, we already know there's something weird about your network, too. If you ever figure it out, it would help to know.
